"Cozy Hotel & Excellent Restaurant"
Overall score5.0/ 5
Everything about this well appointed hotel is perfect. I had the most charming room. I dined in the Tiger Bar and enjoyed a sumptuous meal of baba ghanoush, which was deliciously topped with pomegranate and grilled octopus and a Mediterranean salad. Everything was seasoned and presented perfectly. Well appointed in every way.
